Colour b4 on black hair w/henna underneath?

I did a stupid thing and dyed my hair black a month or so ago, and now I regret that and want my hair blonde (or at least a lighter colour..blonde might take a while). I want to use colour b4 to strip out some colour, but I'm afraid of how it will turn out. I have several layers of henna under the newly dyed black hair, and I have no idea how the colour b4 will react to that. It worked wonders on my ginger hair last time I tried it, but that was box dye only.

Anyone tried colour b4 on henna dyed hair or on hair dyed with a box dye over the henna? I'm afraid it'll turn out a really patchy ugly brownish colour πŸ™

The colour remover should take the black out quite easily, i have never tried it on henna, but you might find this thread interesting http://www.hairdyeforum.com/index.php?topic=9326.0

Sounds promising, thanks! I'll probably try and fade some of the colour first and then I'll try the colour remover. Hoping it at least will be a coppery brown or just take me back to ginger. I'll provide some photos for those interested whenever I get around to start on removing my hair colour ^^

I'd definitely be interested to see how your fading goes πŸ™‚

Yes I have. My hair is naturally strawberry blonde. Had been dyeing it for years with pure red henna. It was pretty fiery. Anyway, getting older and have a lot of white in the re-growth, so got tired of touching up. Used. 2 applications of Color oops then. 2 of color fix. Lughtened it up quite a bit. The henna on the last. 4 months of root touchups had amla added. That portion is very resistant to removal.
